I had my day all planned yesterday, I was going to work out in my flower gardens in the sunshine! I waited until mid afternoon, and went out anyway, at least it wasn’t raining. A ray of sunshine at our back yard is frequent orioles visiting our feeders.We usually have two pairs that come but this year one day we counted 12. We haven’t seen that many at one time again but there are usually at least 2 and several waiting in a tree near by for their turn.Last week in the list of ingredients in the pancake recipe the 2 eggs were omitted. They were mentioned in the method so I hope if you tried them you caught on. I do apologize for the omission. Two weeks ago I entertained friends for lunch and served todays chicken salad. Its my favorite, I’m sorry if I have put it in before but its worth repeating if I have! Plan ahead should be refrigerated overnight.

I'm Kathy Lloyd. I grew up on a farm near Elmore, MN and have lived in Fairmont for over 44 years. I have always loved to cook, even when I was very young. I loved to stay with my Aunt Dorothy during my childhood. She was a great cook and used to give me freedom in the kitchen, teaching me along the way. She made recipes from our Norwegian heritage, along with pies, homemade doughnuts, yeast bread and cinnamon rolls.

Marrying a husband with a hearty appetite and raising 3 sons and 1 daughter gave me plenty of hungry appetites to satisfy! I worked as a nurse for 42 years and have been retired for 11 years. Even though I loved my work, I love having time to spend with my grandchildren, to experiment with new recipes and work with my flowers in the summer. Life has been very good to me, blessing me with my loving family and great friends!

I enjoy sharing my love of cooking and recipes with the readers of the Photo Press! (I have had my share of cooking failures over the years!)
